I was so sorry to hear from my brother, Warren, about Gary's passing. Our two families, the Martinelli's and the Farr's, were like one family when we were growing up. I have many, many fond memories of those years with Tollie, Sis, Gary and Ron. My depest condolences to the family. I always remember Gary with that sweet, sweet smile.

My brother was loved by so many.
He will be missed by his family and by all who knew him.
He contracted Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes 30 plus years ago.

I have so many wonderful memories of Gary (and Ron) from many, many years ago. My Dad and Mom & sister would vacation in California just to visit Gary's family and they would visit my family in Washington state.. My Dad was a dear and long ago friend of Gary's Dad. I will always treasure knowing Gary. My sympathy goes out to his family. Roberta (Bertozzi) Sayers & Jerry
